He who wishes to give offense, feels offense.

  1. Those who feel the desire to admonish others, slander others, belittle and defame others. Those people have a feeling of imbalance and lack inside them. They feel something or someone has slandered them yet do not understand. They feel the whole world has offended them. Who knows in what way? Maybe they have something to say and no one will listen, maybe they don't realize what produces those words and their attachement to those words. Regardless of the reason, there is a mentality of defense and attack. Their egos are so stubbornly established in the unconscious habit patterns that they are unable to escape the grip of emotions! The solutions are clear, but maybe not too clear for those so stuck in the grip. It is to listen to the words of the saints!

    Those Guru's who were so clear in establishing their words in our world. Some moved with actions and so taught the world, but their own teachings have not standed the tests of time. If you ask me? I would tell you to listen to the Sikh Guru's. These Guru's did not prescribe so many controversial practices or ideas, what they said was prpfoundly simple. Live truthfully. True to yourself true to others. True and sincere in your actions and your thoughts. For this we need medicine. This medicine is the Guru's Word. In it you will find the most simple truths, to the highest truth. All in language that the average man connects with easily and understands. What does it preach? I'm not here to teach it, because I'm the student, and only do contemplation on the Guru's word. Ameen.

    This is such a simple truth that we have all heard at least once in our lives, but it seems less and less people keep these ideas in mind with each passing day. In a society of infinite distractions and ulterior motives, we perpetually disconnect from our true selves to please others, "fitting in", etc. Yet in this simple philosophy we may find joy, love and acceptance the magnitude of which to easily rival any feelings of fame, wealth or other meaningless status symbols deemed "good" in the eyes of everyday society. 
     
    Simply live truth.
     
  5. mimicry is in our genes literally. They found a gene across all higher species (ones with brains) that was shown to cause mimicry.

    We don't just want to fit in and be accepted. We are compelled to.

    Mostly as a survival tool. If others around us are surviving, they must be doing something right. So we mimic that in hopes of also surviving as they do. Something instilled in all of us through primal evolution, which makes it that much harder to see beyond it and embrace pure and simple truth. It does not, however, make it impossible.
     
  7. I can't help myself sometimes. I'm a realist a calls them like I see'em I live by a rule. By truthful with myself and be truthful to others. If you don't like what I half to say. That's your fault. I tell you what I see and how you act. Not by how I see you or how I act.

  8. If you wish to give offense, you must feel some sort of offense to begin with. Regardless of your position.
     
  9. Not really...I know a lot of people, myself included, have gone out to hurt or piss someone off just because we can, not because I'm offended...

    Just pushin buttons for the sake of pushin buttons...
     
  10. I do that to my brother

    And my fish sometimes when I'm bored

  11. In school this kid would get real animated and active when he was angry...just go to shit...it was so funny...

    So we would piss him off on purpose at school and watch him just go to shit over it and get in trouble...

    It was funny as fuck kuz the kid seemed to have no self control and we hung on that for years as entertainment

    Is this psycho-sexual?

    I don't understand, why would you?

    Maybe I need a bird eyes view.

    Reminds me of The Comedian in the graphic novel Watchmen.

    Edit: nevermind, question addressed already
     
  13. My only crime is being an oblivious soul rebel.

    But bullies don't just push they pull me out of orbit.
